'Nun Bun' Stolen on Christmas Day

 

A flaky pastry has been stolen from a coffeehouse in Nashville, Tennessee, US. The thief struck on Christmas day and took the 9 year old cinnamon bun from its display. The pastry is said to have a striking likeness to the late Mother Teresa.

T-shirts, prayer cards and coffee mugs with the bun's image used to be sold at the Bongo Java shop until Mother Teresa asked them to stop prior to her 1997 death.

Shop owner Bob Bernstein said: "Unfortunately I think it's somebody who wanted to take it to destroy it." He said the thief went right for the bun and ignored the nearby cash.

  Haha  
 Ned, there's an oil stain in the parking lot that looks just like St. Barnabas.

I was once talking to a religious girl I knew about this kind of thing. I thought she was reasonable so I told her that people who see Marys in tree bark are the picture of nuts and rhetorically asked why God (or anyone) would even bother doing something so mundane and unconvincing if not for entertainment. Her response was "it's so people will know that Jesus is coming". So uh, are people so weak in their faith that they need to constantly see faces in buns to stay the course? Do they forget what religion they belong to or something? Don't get it.

Anyway, I still think it's sad that someone would up and steal the thing. The guy can do whatever he wants with his weird products.

Well, if he comes back, Pat Robertson will have him lynched because he's too liberal
